Using methods from applied linguistics, I am analysing first-person narratives of focal onset epilepsy seizures to investigate the subjective, and ‘hard to describe’ symptoms typically associated with these seizures.  Drawing on corpus linguistics methods, I aim to identify a linguistic profile that can be used as a referential resource for both practitioners and patients.  The overall objective is to improve clinical care by facilitating and enhancing patient and health professional communication.
